Thanks for the pix

. Our first electric train was a Triang Britannia, so I have a soft spot for them.

How Great to see it back again. I remember riding the footplate when it was in Bressingham Gardens.

And very appropriate in the 40th anniversary of the end of steam.

Especially as 70013 was _the_ last steam locomotive to run a BR service which is presumeably why the overhaul has been completed this year?

I never got to Bressingham to see Ollie, but did manage a short footplate ride on 70000 at the SVR back in the 70's.
